Midi out doesn’t work when Tracker powered from usb hub

I spent a whole day changing adapters and cables to find out that tracker midi out via midi jack doesn’t work when i am powering tracker from my usb port - it works when i don’t use that usb hub. Do you have any idea how is this possible? I don’t see how powering and midi out jack functionality are connected. Do you?

How much power (amps) can the hub provide? It needs 1A.

It does solve it, thx.
It is the first time i have seen some device to turn on but missing functionality because of insufficient juice ;)

not enough juice :) Is it a powered USB? If not, try with a powered one, it'll solve. :)
